Why would you come in here and tell him, "Just keep Android. Don't worry about WP7." If he's like any tech enthusiast, he probably likes to tinker and just experience other operating systems and setup just for the sake of experiencing them. Hell, I do this all the time with computer operating systems.

If he wants to try out WP7, let him try out WP7. Don't tell him, "Just keep Android."

Just like you stated your opinion, I am free to state mine. Personally, I like android. I like the custom ROMs available and I use them. As someone who came from WindowsPhone to Android I would not want to go back. I didn't mean to sound like I was against tinkering, it was simply my opinion on that specific subject. If they want to port it then fine lol. I won't try and stop them.

Here is the link to one of the themes available anyway:

https://market.android.com/details?id=info.tikuwarez.launcher3&feature

Here are a couple of threads that were for a WP7 Port:

I do love to tinker and I really think I'd like a windows phone, I just don't want to buy one without playing with it for a week or so to make sure it's a worthy purchase. Perhaps I'll just wait til my contract is up and try a windows phone for 30 days...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickelghandi:
I know a few people that have WP7 Devices and they seem pretty satisfied with them as far as functionality. The OS is closed source though so there isn't much in the way of tinkering. At least not legally. I like the open source code of Android although that is getting too controlled now also by companies like HTC that don't want to allow redistribution of their software. Anyway check out the links I posted in my last comment. The theme from the market is kind of dumb but the other threads I've linked to may be of some help because even though they're old threads some posts in them point to other places where development may be going on currently. I hope I have been more helpful with this post and the one before this than with my first one lol.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pelly_jelly:
hi there guys.

I've been testing and fooling around with a lot of roms for my dear x10, and something i've noticed is that with anything higher than baseband 54, on every rom i've tried, i experience huge battery drain issue.

Right now i'm with wb 2.3 rom with the almighty 71BB, and in 40 minutes from 100% i've gone down to 90% with some very short and occasional usage (sending/reading a couple of sms); battery usage has cell standby at 60%, screen 30% and miscellaneous to fill the rest.

Every time i popped up a new rom and switched to a new baseband i had this kind of problem.

Question is: Can i flash my oh so dear BB 54 right now, with wolfbreak 2.3 rom hotfix 5?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xnatex21:
Hi,

So I really did it this time. I forgot to delete the radio I flashed yesterday from the phone's root folder and upon restoring to what appears to be a non-working version of DASBAMF I'm stuck with:

BAMF that loads but only to my background image. The touch screen doesn't respond, the soft keys don't do anything. Volume buttons wake the screen and so does the power button. But, when I hold the power button down, the reboot options don't come up. The status bar updates, I can see emails coming in. When I plug in the device to USB it goes into charge only mode.

OR

Hboot that finds the radio immediately. Flash or don't flash the radio and all I can do is reboot.

I'm on Windows 7 64bit and I've tried to install and setup ADB per these directions: http://www.thunderboltforums.com/forum/htc-thunderbolt-development/315-android-sdk-adb-driver.html

as well as the HTC sync software. I can't get ADB to recognize the device nor HTC sync.

Does anyone have any idea what I can do to either remove the radio or somehow get into recovery?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lrs421:
Turn off the phone, remove the micro sd card, put it in your pc card and remove the radio. When you put the micro sd card back in the phone hboot will look for the file and not find it, you can then choose recovery.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
If your PC has a multimedia card reader, you should get a SDcard adapter, and insert the micro SDcard from your Thunderbolt into it. Then you can delete the PG051.img via Windows Explorer.

After a few such experiences, I wouldn't root my phone unless I had a PC with a mmc reader and an adapter. It's a lifesaver.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kr0n1c:
Same thing happened to me a while back, except I didn't have a PC available, but luckily was able to put the card in my gf's phone and delete it that way
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xnatex21:
Thanks for the help guy. I didn't realize the radio was on the SD card (duh) and I could just take the card out, boot into hboot -> recovery, and then factory wipe.

If the ROM was truly in a bootloop, I would have had to use a PC to remove the p05img.zip. Thanks for the help.

[HTC Inspire 4G] 00ChevyScott:
I've put off rooting for a long time because I don't really need anything else from my phone, but waiting for the gingerbread update is getting a little old. I'd like to Root my Inspire and try out gingerbread and sense 3.0 instead of sense 2.1

Since the leak has already happened for the Inspire's 2.3 update, are there any good reputable ROMs out there that I won't have any trouble with? I don't want to have to deal with GPS not working, or no MMS, or having to do this or that to keep everything working. If I'm going to Root my phone, I don't want to have to worry about constant force closes or features of the phone not working. Are there any new GB 2.3 roms with sense 3 that can do this? I want it to be an Inspire GB rom, not an old Desire HD GB rom.

Thank you!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
Since this thread will more than likely be closed soon, I will just say that they are all very good and stable. You might see an occasional issue but they get fixed quickly. The most stable and best rom will be the one that works well for your taste and needs. Like I said, there are a lot of great choices out there. If you don't like it, move on to the next one. That's what we do.
[HTC Inspire 4G] 00ChevyScott:
Any first ROM suggestions? I see that cyogen 7 rom posted all the time.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
I have pretty much tried them all and I have my favorites. For Sense roms try Android Revolution, Virtuous Unity, and even the newer Stardroid rom is turning out very nicely. For AOSP roms try Adam's Ninja rom or CM7.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodak:
Anyone having trouble with BLN and deep sleep?

As soon as I get a notification and my button lights comes on my phone kicks in a "200mhz"-state and refuses to enter deep sleep until I dismiss that notification.

When I disable BLN then deep sleep works as normal even if I have some unread/unanswered sms/calls.

To test try this with BLN activated.

1. Open CPU Spy and press menu, then "Reset Timers"

2. Close CPU Spy

3. Turn off your screen

4. Trigger your Button Lights by SMS/Call/Mail or whatever.

5. Leave your phone alone with those nice button lights on for a couple of minutes.

6. Turn your screen on and reopen CPU Spy

Are you getting any deep sleep? I only get a few seconds and rest is 200mhz.

To test without BLN do this:To test try this with BLN activated.

1. Open CPU Spy and press menu, then "Reset Timers"

2. Close CPU Spy

3. Turn off your screen

4. Leave your phone alone for a couple of minutes.

5. Turn your screen on and reopen CPU Spy

Now deep sleep is working as normal.

Anyone can confirm?

Just got one tester in another thread and he says that he is getting deep sleep with BLN activated.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
Yes, that is normal.

Deep sleep needs to be prevented in order to keep power fed to the lights as without power they wouldn't blink.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] :
Hello,

I tried to divide my partitions following this tutorial (android.modaco.com/topic/341374-custom-y...ata-partitions-size/) but when I got to step 6 start saying "E: can’t mount/sdcard"

Now I’m trying to reboot the device and freezes on balck screen with IDEOS word.

What should I do please?

THank you
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] simplistian:
No you didn't follow the tutorial, from modaco you said you put it in the internal storage and flashed it.

Isn't the instruction clear enough? It said placing the file in EXTERNAL SD card... It is written as capital as it is a critical step and it will definitely cause error if you flash it without an external card.

In order to fix it, you have to get an external SD card, put the file there, put it into your phone, get into recovery, and reapply the zip.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] :
I haven't read carefully enough. It’s also the inexperience and the need of trying new things with this phone.

All sorted out.

the partition was made successfully and them I made all the Wipe option available, unmout the internal SD card and mount it again and worked.

The only problem was the cam got inverted. I had rooted the phone previously with super boot and I just replace with the original boot.img file.

I’m learning. Thank you for your help!!!

I am also really tempted but kinda wanna wait till the Nexus 3 as well. Very tempting though...
[Nexus One General] mrbkkt1:
Problem I have, is that a new contract costs 20 bucks more a month for the same plan.over 2 years, that's 480 bucks.its only worth it if I can keep the same plan.
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
Heh, this is why I haven't signed a new contract in years. They'd force me to a plan that is $20-$25 a month more expensive (plus they don't even have unlimited data any more. I'm grandfathered in on unlimited). Over the course of a contract, it's cheaper to buy a phone out right then pay the high contract price and get even a completely "free" phone.
[Nexus One General] adunski:
yawn..

This is how successful the Nexus S was: now they're giving them away. If it came cheap without a contract, I'd go pick one up. Nope, still rather have my N1.
[Nexus One General] josemedina1983:
Tell you the truth I think the N1 was a flop for Google they wanted to move units like the Iphone and have their own Web store that idea went down the drain. they didn't know how to market the Nexus One to normal consumers after few months they wanted to sell it on mobile stores for people to see and test that never happen. finally it slowly faded away to just be a developer phone, I think this time Google wanted a company like best buy to do the whole process and have exclusivity if Goole would of thought of this we would still see the Nexus One being sold for free etc etc.
[Nexus One General] adunski:
I think you're exactly right. The experiment that was the N1 was, in essence, a failure. Google may be big, but they don't have the computing experience Apple has. Apple users were already wishing for an iPhone product; but no one was hoping Google would release a phone. But this is what makes the N1 such a gem: it's been a completely underground developer's dream. The NS found itself in an odd place and was really to the N1 as the iPhone 3GS was to the 3G.
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
Yeah. The Nexus One is unknown to the common folk.

I'll get asked what phone I have and tell them a Nexus One. The response is always, with out fail, "A Nexus what?"

I kind of like having a phone no one else really has though.
[Nexus One General] josemedina1983:
Difference between google and apple is google is web base company people don't think of them as a software company for the same reason people had trouble knowing about android until verizon put the Droid stamp on. Googles marketing is too geeky for normal consumers 1ghz what? 2 speakers for noise cancellation what? Apples marketing twice as fast as your 3gs, Better graphics for Gaming, our top of the line speaker for calls period.
[Nexus One General] rickh925:
Yup, the math never works out. If you can actually keep a phone for two years and buy it without a contract you usually break even before two years, at least I did with my N1 although I bought a pair of those off Craig's List for $350 each.
[Nexus One General] rickh925:
When I tell them that I have a Nexus One, they ask "Is that a droid phone?" I have to admit that most of the common folk associate the Motorola Droid commercials with Android phones. Those were pretty cool I must admit, but I'd never go with an NS over my N1. May be the TMo Hercules when it comes out, but nothing else has been enough of a jump in technology to make me move.
[Nexus One General] bassmadrigal:
I am not sure I completely agree with this. To me, the NS was more of a sidestep than an actual upgrade over the N1. Sure, it had a bit faster processor and more flash, but there was no micro-sdcard slot and no notification led. I think they traded off some important features and put different ones in (and NFC implementation isn't widespread enough for me to consider it a feature just yet). Both phones are great, but I think I would still prefer my N1 over an NS.

And while the original thought behind the N1 and the webstore might've fallen short of what google expected, the N1 itself was considered a success by google (although the webstore was considered a failure). Why? Because they wanted to present to the world what phones could be capable of. 1GHz processors, 512MB of RAM... Essentially, they wanted to kickstart the "superphone" craze, which as you can now tell, was extremely successful. I mean, N1s are over 18 months old, but they still hold their own. Sure there are fancier and faster phones out there, but in a fast-paced enviornment like smartphones, it is pretty impressive that people are still considering buying an 18+ month old phone (and are extremely happy when they get it).

I do think the NS was an attempt at kickstarting the NFC (and to make the phone more retail/consumer friendly vs more of a niche/developer phone that the N1 was). I am hoping the N3 will be another push for new hardware and that it will be a true upgrade (in every sense - I am really hoping for another cardock and trackball) instead of a partial upgrade in some areas, but downgrades in others...
[Nexus One General] crachel:
I own both the NS & N1 and I use the NS much more than the N1 for 2 reasons:

1) NS has a much brighter, larger, responsive screen

2) NS has more storage space (I'm aware of simple2ext)

As far as NFC is concerned, sure it's not widespread but that doesn't matter. You can very cheaply purchase your own NFC tags and use this app NFC Task Launcher developed by an XDA member to basically do any function (it has Tasker support). I have a tag setup on my work desk that turns the phones screen off when I set it down. People put them in their cars as well. Very, very handy.

Not having notification LED sucks terribly though and I hope the iPhone 5 has one so Android OEMs will start adding them again..
[Nexus One General] albundy2010:
It all depends on the user. Depending on what you use the phone for they could either be very similar or it could be considered a huge improvement.
[Nexus One General] bassmadrigal:
I totally agree. Each user is different. My thoughts were my personal opinion. For me, it is necessary to have an sdcard slot so I can have my 32GB micro-sdcard installed (since mine is consistently sitting at 2GB or less freespace). I just wish that the NS was a total upgrade over the N1 rather than a partial one. I am really hoping that the N3 will quench my thirst for a new Nexus device.

I didn't realize all the stuff you can do with the NFC tags, so I will definitely be looking forward to that in a future phone.
[Nexus One General] rickh925:
That is an AWESOME use of NFC. I always thought it was just a gimmick, but the ability to place tags in places like that is pretty cool. Place one in the bosses office so that tasker puts your phone on vibrate when you walk in!

Kindly recommend me a good ROM for multimedia use (surfing / music / videos)
